[RFC/PATCH] Fix rtas_ibm_suspend_me bugs

(very rfc for now, no sign-off, needs more testing)

There are a couple of bugs in the rtas_ibm_suspend_me() and
rtas_percpu_suspend_me() functions:

1.  rtas_ibm_suspend_me() uses on_each_cpu() to invoke
rtas_percpu_suspend_me() via IPI:

if (on_each_cpu(rtas_percpu_suspend_me, &data, 1, 0))
...

'data' is on the stack, and rtas_ibm_suspend_me() takes no measures to
ensure that all instances of rtas_percpu_suspend_me() are finished
accessing 'data' before returning.  This can result in the IPI'd cpus
accessing random stack data and getting stuck in H_JOIN.

Fix this by moving rtas_suspend_me_data off the stack, and protect it
with a mutex.  Use a completion to ensure that all cpus are done
accessing the data before unlocking.

2.  rtas_percpu_suspend_me passes the Linux logical cpu id to the
H_PROD hypervisor method, when it should be using the platform
interrupt server value for that cpu (hard_smp_processor_id).  In
practice, this probably causes problems only on partitions where
processors have been removed and added in a particular order.
